LLVM-18-Tutorial

This blog serves as a updated version of LLVM-11-Tutorial, at which more detailed explanation of this project can be found. In this blog, I mainly record the difference between LLVM-11 and LLVM-18, the specific changes are explained within each experiment folder. I am happy to discuss and any suggestion will be welcome ^_^ (jgeab@connect.ust.hk). ~If this blog is useful for you, a STAR will be encouragement to me.

Before Running Experiments

Auxiliary File Settings: To avoid potential warnings from VS Code, it is recommended to set the configurations in the c_cpp_properties.json file as follows::

• includePath:
  • "${workspaceFolder}/**"
  • "/usr/local/include/"
• "cStandard": "c17"
• "cppStandard": "c++17"

CMake Path: The compilation logic can be complex within these folders. Here is an explanation:

• The pass source codes can be found within the Implements folder.
• The specific experiments testing each pass can be found in the Tests folder.
• The compiled libraries can be found in Tests/LLVM_Learner_Libs and please remember to include the corresponding passes in the CMake file.
